 The Wolverines were led on the field by Brock Mealer, brother of junior/sophomore offensive guard Elliott Mealer, who was paralyzed from the waist down in an auto accident on Dec. 24, 2007. Joined by Elliot, brother David and mother Shelly, Mealer walked to the banner at midfield.

 Robinson rushed for 197 yards on 29 carries and completed 19-of-22 passes for 186 yards, contributing to 383 of Michigan's 473 total yards.

 Robinson's 32-yard touchdown run in the first quarter was the third-longest rush of his career. He previously ran for 43 yards in last season's opener against Western Michigan (Sept. 5, 2009) and rushed 36 yards against Eastern Michigan (Sept. 19, 2009). All three have been for touchdowns.

 Sophomore running back Vincent Smith scored the Wolverines' first touchdown of 2010, rushing for 12 yards to cap Michigan's 96-yard opening drive. It was the fourth touchdown of Smith's collegiate career and second rushing touchdown. He added a receiving touchdown in the fourth quarter on a 11-yard reception from Denard Robinson. It was the first multi-touchdown performance of Smith's collegiate career.

 Sophomore/freshman kicker Brendan Gibbons tallied his first collegiate point with the point after on Michigan's opening touchdown. Gibbons was 3-for-4 on extra-point attempts. He converted his first collegiate field goal -- on a 24-yard attempt -- on the Wolverines' first drive of the second half.

 Sophomore/freshman safety Cameron Gordon registered his first career blocked field-goal attempt in first quarter.

 Junior/sophomore receiver Terrence Robinson registered a career-long 43-yard catch -- on his second career reception -- in the fourth quarter. It was also a career-long pass for Denard Robinson. His previous long was 36 yards against Delaware State (Oct. 17, 2009).

 The Wolverines boasted four scoring drives of more than 70 yards -- 96, 77, 74 and 89.
